Hwoof, sorry for the lack of updates! Part of it has been busyness, part of it has been laziness, eh, you know how it goes. I've been squeezing in some much-needed Destiny time, that's been fun! I got the Eternal Warrior helmet from Xûr because I had just enough strange coins, and I hilariously went directly from level 28 to level 31. I have a ( Read more... )

It's been a quiet week in Lake Woebegon York, so sadly, I have very little to report. My mother went home, I have yet to edit any of the photos I took in Edinburgh, the time change has hit, the darkness is unstoppable*, I can't stop writing Marathon fics though I haven't finished any recently either besides the Temeraire/history fusion one... Oh ( Read more... )

Good gods, I have been terrible about updating! HERE, have a list of things that distract me ( Read more... )

I now believe that if I am a good scholar, who never dog-ears pages or bullshits a paper and always cites everything properly, when I die I will go to a place very much like the York Book Fair. Shelves and shelves and shelves of beautiful old books, all for the looking and gentle handling, and if I have been very good about organizing my footnotes ( Read more... )

SO, YULETIDE REVEALS!

To absolutely no one's surprise, I wrote among some talk of you and me. Eliot reference + Vlad + manuscript geekery! Could I have made it more obvious, really. XD

For treats, I wrote Cleaning (Franken Fran), Patience (Stigma), and There will be an answer (Pluto), all of which were terrible ideas if I wanted comments from ( Read more... )

I updated the guide to experimental formatting per the excellent advice of sailorptah and zvi_likes_tv, although I am still not sure how people found out about it in the first place, but anyway it is a better version now ( Read more... )

I went to Greensboro yesterday to go see Princess and the Frog, and I AM SO GLAD I DID. Oh wow what a gorgeous movie. *_* It was such fun and funny and full of beautiful things, I loved it.

Then lemone and chibizel and I hung around the mall pretending to shop (well - they bought things, I just wished I could buy things), and went back to Chibizel's place ( Read more... )

Yesterday I went to Greensboro for a delicious Thai lunch with lemone and chibizel, then went to see New Moon with Lemone for to have many lolz, and behold! Many lolz we did have. Also a lot of jailbait eyecandy. Seriously those werewolf boys were built, I felt like such a dirty old lady. Oh to be young again... and also a robot ( Read more... )

So I haven't counted exactly but I'm pretty sure I've translated at minimum 800 lines of Iliad this week, of which at least 500 involved Achilleus killing people (or trying to kill people and getting foiled by a god/goddess). TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I am doing this with nothing but the text itself and Cunliffe's lexicon because I am a cheapskate ( Read more... )

Old black-and-white movies are the best movies. *_* I love Nosferatu like whoa, and Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast... You know what would be fucking adorable? If I could sew and then dressed up Aedon-doll and Chelidon-doll in Beauty's and Beast's costumes from that movie, and made Aedon the Beast and Chelidon Beauty... IT WOULD BE THE CUTEST ( Read more... )
